Yixing locals are keeping a secret: the "Little Potala Palace of Jiangnan"

😲 Wow! Yixing locals are keeping a secret! They have a place as beautiful as the "Little Potala Palace of Jiangnan"✨ 🎈In Yixing, I was surprised to find a temple built halfway up a mountain. The white walls and golden roof built along the mountain make you feel like you're in Tibet🤩. And it's so considerate here😃! Free incense🪔, free parking🚗, free copying of scriptures📜, and even free divination❗️ 📍Navigate to Foguang Zuting Dajue Temple (Xizhu Town, Yixing)📍. 🚗Driving is the most convenient way to get there, and it takes about 2 hours from Shanghai or Nanjing😜. ⏰Opening hours are 8:30–17:00 (last entry at 16:30, so don't be late😏). 🔥Here's a must-see guide😎: 1️⃣ "Aerial Potala" Guanyin Hall🧐 ✅Panoramic view: Stand in front of the Mahavira Hall and look up. Wow😃, the view is amazing👍! ✅Light and shadow: At 3–4 pm, the sun shines on the golden roof, creating a sacred feeling😇, so beautiful😍! ✅Hidden activity: There is a Zen painting and calligraphy exhibition in the art gallery on the second floor of Guanyin Hall🎨. Wear a Hanfu or a plain long dress for photos, and the effect is amazing😜, super photogenic📸! 2️⃣Three Buddhist experiences😃 ▫️Free copying of scriptures (in the side hall of Guanyin Hall😃), let your mind find peace in every stroke🧘‍♀️. ▫️Divination (take a divination tube from the Mahavira Hall😉), it may help you solve your doubts😏. ▫️Coffee (CNY 20 per cup😜), enjoy a cup of coffee in this Zen place, it's a unique experience😃. 🍜Buddhist food guide😋: ✔️Dishuifang vegetarian noodles (CNY 15), the mushroom soup is so fresh😜, you can't stop eating it😋! ✔️Vegetarian lunch box (CNY 25), more than 10 kinds of vegetables, filling😃, nutritious and delicious😋! ✔️Hidden menu: Book one day in advance to enjoy a delicate vegetarian feast😎, are you looking forward to it😜? 📸Nearby attractions😃: The Yunhu Scenic Area is opposite the temple, with beautiful scenery, perfect for a walk🚶‍♀️, and to enjoy the peace and beauty😃. 🌟Real experience😃: I came here for the "Little Potala Palace"😏, but I was completely healed by the Zen aesthetics here😇. There are no commercial incense stalls, only wind chimes on the eaves🎐, telling the peace and harmony here😃. Yixing locals are really good at keeping secrets😜!!😃😃😃 Are you tempted😜? Pack your bags and go😎!😜😜😜
